I thought I'd heard it all...

No, I have never heard myself chewing with the HD800 or any of other 15 or sets of headphones I own.
 
YMMV

I can not imagine how can you not hear yourself chewing with your closed-back headphones (e.g. Sennheiser HD 8 DJ), but thanks anyway.

I am not sure if I understood you correctly - I would like if you would add a little more words to your answer.

Sorry that you cannot imagine it because it is true.
 
I am not sure you are going to get the answer you are looking for.  It may be best for you to try the HD800 yourself to determine if it is acceptable to you with your eating and listening habits.
 
Good luck...

Well if you grind your teeth you are obviously gonna hear it, the teeth are INSIDE your mouth, connected to your body. No headphone can help there. 

Just curious, why is this so critical? How long do you eat for while listening to music critically? Do you chew gums all the time?

I have the Sony MDR MA900 (very open design, it have the holes in the pads) - and it virtually does not amplify this noise, so I hear it not louder than without headphones, and that is what I consider a good result for headphones.

No, I do not chew a gum at all. It is "so critical" because I already have the headphones that feels very well for meal-time (MA900) and I afraid I would dissapointed if such expensive headphones like the HD800 would perform noticeably worse on this field, regarding the fact that I am listen to music only while eating. No, I do not have very long meals, but I listen the music during a day almost no longer than I am eating (though I listen the music every day). I have chosen such a regimen for time efficiency purpose.

"Like" this post if you preferred the Sonarworks digression to the chewing digression.

Has anyone ever heard of pairing the Audio GD NFB-11 with the HD 800? I was just about to pull the trigger on the Lyr 2 but someone recommended the Audio GD and I haven't heard much about it.

I paired the NFB 11 with HiFiman HE 500, a darker headphone relative to the HD 800. It made the HE 500 sound (to my ear) shrill. 
 
Also thought the NFB 11 (paired with HE 500) sounded artificial.

P.S. I know others that have enjoyed the HE 500 / NFB 11 pairing

Have you heard anything regarding pairing the Dark Voice 336 SE with the HD 800?

I've been interested in getting some view points on this.  What interests me most is that the NFB-11 is an AMP/DAC combo.  This seems like an efficient way to save money as well as space.  According to Zeos' review of the NFB-11, the AMP section is phenomenal.  However, I don't see myself needing so many options such as variable, standard, etc.
 
Can anyone say what their experience with the NFB-11 was and/or is?

 

[jsgraha]

I used to have audio-gd nfb12 (supposed to be slightly warmer version to nfb11), and there are other products better it in similar price range for hd800.
Schiit Vali better it for amp only (combine with modi multibit maybe, for dac/amp).
Or for single dac/amp, geek out v2a or v2+ better it as well
